2020 Presidential Election: Biden v. Trump

District, how don't you know about this shit? DC lives for rehabilitating scumbags associated with miserable administrations.
 
Based on the judgements of some on these here Tunnels, Nicole Wallace should be shunned from society and living in a tent by the railroad tracks.

Dems don't have anything to brag about either in theirs with Cheater Clinton who soiled the blue dress in the Oval Office and got impeached and Obama who has the most corrupt administration in history during his 8 years! And to think their last choice was a very corrupt Hillary Clinton who should have been locked up for bleaching & disposing of her illegal phone with all the emails! [thank God for Weiner-Man exposing himself & her!]

Feel free to provide a list of people from Obama's administration that have been charged, exonerated, and spent time in jail for corruption or other crimes. We'll then compare those 8 years (thanks for giving me a second term Jesus!) With trump's 3 1/2... see how that goes.

I can smell the smoke from ref's brain trying to process all the new information he's neither seen nor heard yet.

You are engaging a guy who has no interest in truth, only pushing a narrative. This is Trump America

Yeah but all those arrests and charges of Trump officials are because Obama hold-over appointed deep state operatives are out to undo the election of 2016. #OBUMMERGATE!!!

The lack of self awareness in Trumper's minds is stunning -- calling Bill "Cheater Clinton" while absolutely loving and condoning Donald "I paid a porn star off to stay silent" Trump's behavior is peak density. This is a common trait in Trumpers, like a few of my relatives who say exactly what Reff says about Obama's most corrupt eight years yet Republican held Congress couldn't/wouldn't find any corruption despite having any/all authority to do so, meanwhile ignoring the guilty pleas/sentences and resignations due to malfeasance to come out of Trump's cabinet. Fox News is a helluva drug.
 
Fair points about engaging with a trumper.

Speaking of which, did dolt 45 start using "acting secretaries" because even moscow mitch's senate was getting tired of the shit quality of candidates trump was nominating? Asking for a friend.

I think he'd just rather keep that "acting" title over their heads to demand more loyalty, since it's easier to get rid of and replace an acting secretary.
 
Likely part of it. It's a clear attempt to circumvent norms and rules. Likely does foster some amount of additional loyalty but at this loyalty to the magAgenda is all that matters so it's not like anything but "yes people" are getting anywhere near his cabinet.
 
[h=1]Joe Biden has a plan for that[/h] Not a joke, folks: He’s running on a transformative policy agenda.
https://www.vox.com/2020/5/26/21257648/joe-biden-climate-economy-tax-plans

It’s a detailed and aggressive agenda that includes doubling the minimum wage and tripling funding for schools with low-income students. He is proposing the most sweeping overhaul of immigration policy in a generation, the biggest pro-union push in three generations, and the most ambitious environmental agenda of all time.
If Democrats take back the Senate in the fall, Biden could make his agenda happen. A primary is about airing disagreements, but legislating is about building consensus. The Democratic Party largely agrees on a suite of big policy changes that would improve the lives of millions of Americans in meaningful ways. Biden has detailed, considered plans to put much of this agenda in place. But getting these plans done will be driven much more by the outcome of the congressional elections than his questioned ambition.

[h=3]Free college for most[/h] Biden was also an early proponent of free college, saying in a 2015 Rose Garden speech that “we all know that 12 years of public education is not enough. As a nation, let’s make the same commitment to a college education today that we made to a high school education a hundred years ago.”
In concrete terms, Biden supports the College for All Act, which Sanders and Rep. Pramila Jayapal introduced in 2017. The act would provide matching grants to states that want to eliminate tuition at public colleges and universities for any student coming from a household with less than $125,000 in income. When he introduced the bill, Sanders noted this covers about 80 percent of American households — and more affluent households don’t have a huge barrier to higher education. But on the 2020 campaign trail, he disparaged this goal as inadequate and backed zero tuition for all students.
The big problem with these matching grant schemes has always been that there’s a good chance states won’t want to spend the money, and with the coronavirus pandemic sending state budgets into crisis, those odds only get better.

[h=3]Dramatic transformation of federal housing policy[/h] While a minimum wage hike and a big boost for community colleges have both been longtime Biden passions, his housing policy was released in late February at the tail end of the campaign, and the candidate himself has barely ever mentioned it.
Even though Biden was the last candidate in the field to release a blueprint for housing policy, what the campaign came up with is excellent on substance and aligns closely with experts’ view that there is really a dual housing crisis in America as well as with their recommendations about how to fix it. Biden’s approach has two major policy prongs, paired with a series of commitments to step up federal civil rights enforcement.

[h=3]A labor-friendly climate agenda[/h] Climate change is a huge, complicated issue, and Biden’s stated climate agenda, like proposals from other Democratic campaigns, has a lot of moving parts, covering everything from investments in advanced biofuels to clean drinking water to a proposed Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory change that would require companies with stock listed on the major markets to make public disclosures of their climate risk.
The topline objective is to make the US economy carbon neutral by 2050, but a president whose term would span from 2021 to 2025 or 2029 can’t deliver on that commitment even with an infinitely cooperative Congress — which he also won’t have. Climate is one of the trickiest policy areas for Democrats because the gap between the goals climate scientists think are appropriate and the likely results of the legislative process is so large.

Good link. Wasn't crazy about the section on organized labor, especially in the face of his lengthy commitment to a common-sense minimum wage increase.

Far and away Biden’s most significant promise with regard to organized labor is a pledge to “create a cabinet-level working group that will solely focus on promoting union organizing and collective bargaining in the public and private sectors.”

Just personally, I'd like to see more on this.
 
Name recognition. We already picked the nominee by name recognition. Why do it again for VP?

Those are typically state crimes. It isn't Joe Biden's fault for everybody in this country who has served a prison sentence for a drug crime for instance..
